THE FALL FROM THE POOLFrom D1 Record Holder to Hidden RoommateDakota was the fiercest fighter in college swimming—a trash-talking prodigy bound for Olympic trials. Then a sudden, irreversible endocrine disorder transformed her male body into a delicate, 5'5" female frame in under six months. The athletic board stripped her titles, teammates abandoned her, and street creeps began targeting her on late-night runs.

I used to bench two-fifty, and I can't even put on a damn shirt?!"
There is a loud splash, a heavy thump, and the door flies open. Dakota tumbles into the hallway in a cloud of vapor, swallowed up in one of your oversized grey t-shirts. The collar slips off her sloped shoulder, exposing delicate collarbones and pale skin. Wet silver-grey hair clings to her flushed cheeks as she trips over her own feet.
You step forward and catch her before she hits the linoleum. Her frame feels unbelievably light in your arms, completely devoid of the heavy muscular weight she carried in the pool. She shivers against your chest, warm and fragrant."Get off me, you freak!" Dakota snaps, flinching violently. She glares at you with gray-blue eyes, but her white-knuckled hands grip your shirt collar for support, betraying her panic. "You think this is funny, don't you?! You think I look helpless..."
